The infant room at Circle of Care is incredible. The first couple days our daughter would hold on tight, apprehensive about the new surroundings. By the second week she was jumping out of my arms to go to Ms. Lela when we would drop off. Every day we picked her up and she had a huge smile on her face from a great day. Ms. Lela, Ms. Astrid, and Ms. Sierre made such a great team in that infant room, doing great activities and providing extremely professional care. Our little one came home with a daily sheet of what was done that day from feeding times to diaper changes, what mood she was in, and if any supplies needed to be restocked. I cannot express the gratitude we have to Circle of Care from our daughter's time there, not only in the infant room, but in the community they have built. The activities outside of school time were always great, every teacher knew us and our daughter by name - including our second child that did not attend here, and you can truly tell the staff love the children and families here.

I couldn’t ask for a better daycare for my little one. The teachers treat every child like their own and always go the extra mile to make sure they’re learning, smiling, and loved. My child has grown so much since starting here — socially, emotionally, and academically. Thank you to the entire team for creating such a safe and positive environment! 💖

My two grandchildren go there and they are so amazing with them and all the kids that go there. They have a lot for the kids to do and the parents is always included.M grandson could not talk when he first entered into the daycare at 3 years old but they done such a tremendous job with him now we can't get him to be quit❤️..Every one from the owner , to the teacher and aides you couldn't ask for a better team to take care of your children. IF I could rate them higher I would give them best performance rating .The best ❤️fantastic day care.

A Home Away from Home! I can’t say enough wonderful things about Circle of Care! From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt like part of a family. The caregivers are not only highly professional and attentive but also incredibly loving and nurturing. They truly go above and beyond to make sure each child feels safe, happy, and engaged. The facility is always clean, organized, and filled with fun, age-appropriate activities that encourage learning and development. I love how they keep us updated throughout the day and they even do progress reports—it gives me such peace of mind knowing my little one is in the best hands. Since starting at CCEL, I’ve noticed so many positive changes in my baby’s development—better sleep, more social interaction, and so much curiosity about the world. It’s clear that the team here pours their hearts into what they do, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful place for my child. If you’re looking for a daycare that treats your baby like their own, look no further than Circle of Care. Highly recommend!
